How many counseling interns do you have at Selah House at any one time?
We only have one counseling intern in the house at a time.

Can I extend my internship past a semester?
We realize that many interns desire to complete both their 300 and 600 hour internships in one location.  As an intern, you may accumulate as many hours as you like during one semester, however, interns may only complete a one semester internship at Selah House (Spring, Summer, or Fall).

Can I complete a practicum class?
No.  Most practicum classes are 100 hours.  An intern must be willing to offer a minimum of 300 hours during their semester internship to be considered.

Can I complete an undergraduate counseling internship at Selah House?
No.  Selah House will only consider graduate interns (Master’s or Doctorate Degrees) completing internship coursework.  The supervising university must be accredited, meaning that upon their school’s graduation, they will have completed all of their coursework necessary towards licensure in their state.

Do you consider counseling internships from on-line universities?
At this time, we do not.  We feel that in class face-to-face coursework and dialogue is necessary in the field of counseling for the training of the top quality interns that we are searching for at Selah House.  A student may have taken an on-line course, however, the majority of their hours must be in-class hours.

When are the dates for Spring, Summer, and Fall internships?
All internship hours must be completed between the beginning and ending dates of their awarded internship:
     • Spring Internship: Jan. 1 – the third Friday in May

Are all candidates interviewed and who would I be interviewed by?
Not all candidates are interviewed.  All intern candidates asked to an interview must complete an interview with Todd Davis, our Selah House Internship Site Supervisor and a second interview with Misty Rees, our Program Director.  We do attempt, but do not guarantee, to contact all candidates that are no longer being considered for an internship.
